Today I felt a pain inside my heart
The thought of leaving you was on my mind
If I've been deceiving you, it's all because I'm blind
'Cause I care for you more than you know
Although my heart says go

Today I saw the tears inside your eyes
The thought of hurting you, I'd rather die
If I'm deserting you, I don't mean to make you cry
'Cause I care for you more than you know
Although my heart says

How do you tell the one you love goodbye for good
Or even know if you should?
And how do you say the words you thought you never could
When you promised her that your love was true?
Said I'd never think of leaving you, oh, how can love be cruel

Today I felt a pain inside my heart
The thought of leaving you had crossed my mind
If I've been deceiving you, it's only 'cause I'm blind
'Cause I care for you more than you know
Although my heart says

How do you tell the one you love goodbye for good
Or even know if you should?
And how do you say the words you thought you never could
When you promised her that your love was true?
Said I'd never think of leaving you, oh, how can love be cruel

How can you live a lie
When you know it's wrong and you know it's not right?
When you say you do but you know you don't
When you say you will but you know that you won't

When you're not alive, you should let it die
Just let go, just let go off the pain inside
Tell me how do you know, tell me how to let go?
Tell me how, how, how?

How do you tell the one you love goodbye for good
Or even know if you should?
And how do you say the words you thought you never could
When you promised her that your love was true?
Said I'd never think of leaving you, oh, how can love be cruel
